Hi,

I have a scripted install for pgadmin4 which worked as expected for pgadmin7.7 when last used. I'm now trying to install 8.4 in a new VM, and it fails like this:

$ sudo -i -u ubuntu PGADMIN_SETUP_EMAIL=xxx@123.com PGADMIN_SETUP_PASSWORD=abcd python3 /home/ubuntu/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pgadmin4/setup.py setup-db

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/var/lib/pgadmin/pgadmin4.db' -> '/var/lib/pgadmin/pgadmin4.db.20240310031321'

Note: the argument "setup-db" was not previously used, but seems required now. I've enclosed the output of "pip freeze" below. I have verified that the directory "/var/lib/pgadmin" exists, and is writeable by the user "ubuntu". In the same directory as setup.py is the following file:

$ cat /home/ubuntu/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pgadmin4/config_local.py  
LOG_FILE = '/var/log/pgadmin/pgadmin4.log'
SQLITE_PATH = '/var/lib/pgadmin/pgadmin4.db'

KERBEROS_CCACHE_DIR = '/var/lib/pgadmin/kerberoscache'                       <<< new entry
SERVER_MODE = True

Note: I have highlighted a couple of entries which I added after reading the current installation documentation. I also tried launching the VM with the previously working pgadmin4 7.7

Note that 7.7 fails in the same way with or without the newly added "setup-db" argument. Given this pattern, my guess is that flask-migrate or flask is possibly the issue, rather than pgadmin4, but I have not been able to debug/confirm that.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks, Shaheed
